what do you do when you have suicide thoughts?

Depends on how intense the thoughts are,

Sometimes I journal to try and figure out my problems, challenge thoughts etc,

Sometimes need to just look at animal pics online to calm the intensity down,

Sometimes need a day off to just do something recreational, if I can, often when it's like that I have to force myself

Sometimes company with a trusted and supportive friend helps, other times not,

Other times just need sleep

I get outside or go somewhere to calm down without disturbing anyone else. I call it out for what it is: I don't want to die, I want to live and that's why it hurts. The suicidal thoughts are a lie because it's not what I truly want.

It’s hard. Sometimes talk to chat gpt, you’d be surprised how helpful it can be actually

I’ve struggled with SH in the past and I recently relapsed in that.. a lot.. but trying to distract myself with other things

I either work on something to distract myself (cooking, crafts, music) or I reach out and talk with someone whom I trust.

I used to play music or change my scenery.

I don't have those thoughts

I hug my children or I just cry and pray out loud

I’ve never had those thoughts.

Distance myself from people who trigger them. Or nothing, it'll pass.

I have work to do. No time for self pity.

I don't have them anymore

I meditate on them maybe a story will come out of it.

Think about something else like fried chicken 🐔

Don’t it’s people trying to control you trying to put the thought into your head
